Name any MW who beats Monzon

The thing is opinions are fine but it's very unlikely anyone is going to go undefeated vs that level of opposition it just isn't possible.

Monzon has been badly hurt in a fight and had 2 very close decisions in his title reign. So as I said whilst he was a very consistent performed he wasn't unbeatable.

A certain style from one of those fighters will catch him out, it doesn't make him any less great it's just being realistic no Middleweight in history would go undefeated vs those names.

 

Carlos Monzon at the time of his retirement as champion on August 29 1977 was 89-3-9, 61 KO's, undefeated in his last 82 bouts dating back to Oct 9 1964, Carlos defeated the three men who defeated him on points, eight of the nine men he drew against, the ninth refused to fight him.

 

While I respect your opinion, King Carlos Monzon being hurt does not take anything away from him as a champion, it only enhances him as a fighter with a diamond chin as only Rodrigo Valdes was the only fighter to deck him and it was in his last title defense on July 30 1977 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Carlos took a two count, and proceeded to punish Valdes throughout the 15 round fight to win a unanimous 15 round decision. So did many fighters or the ones that you mentioned retire undefeated or never lost their titles? Monzon retired with his World Middleweight Title after 14 successful title defenses and a nearly 7 year reign as champion including an 82 bout unbeaten streak dating back to Oct 9 1964. As I have posted in comparing Monzon's competition to others, a fighter or champion can only defend his title against the best possible challengers of his era, not challengers from the past or future. As a champion Monzon knew when it was time to leave the fight game regardless of his personal life, a great champion knows his own limitations. Monzon retired to the silver screen in his native Argentina when his career had ended, financially set for life as his management put money away for him during his lengthy career that began in Feb 1963. In his career, Monzon fought all types, runners, boxers, sluggers, as no man in infallible, he came close to it, having watched him fight since he won the title from Nino Benvenuti on Nov 7 1970 with a KO 12. Nunn and others mentioned lost their titles as champions, that includes Marvelous Marvin Hagler losing his title to a fighter that had been away for 3 and a half years, Sugar Ray Leonard on April 6 1987.

 

Both Hagler and Hopkins had difficulties with boxers.

 

Good question,Dorrian. After some thought,I would put '"The Human Windmill" 4th in my all time great middleweight list.

 

King Carlos Monzon was also known as El Escopeta, The Shotgun.

 

Remember the title unification bout from Monte Carlo, Monaco when WBA Champion Carlos Monzon defeated WBC Champion Rodrigo Valdes on June 26 1976? In that bout King Carlos put Valdes on the deck in round 14 with a counter right hand to seal the unanimous 15 round decision plus the undisputed title.

 

As I have previously mentioned, I was attending the Sugar Ray Leonard vs Daniel Gonzalez bout on March 24 1979 in my hometown, it was televised live on ABC's Wide World Of Sports that Saturday. Anyhow, as I was exiting the restroom on my way to buy a beer, I came face to face with Carlos Monzon, we both nodded up at each other as a sign of respect, he appeared on his way to exit the Community Center after being introduced to the crowd to a standing ovation. It sure was my highlight, later I attended a wedding reception of a friend of mine, I told of my near meeting experience with Monzon, I sure had an interested crowd around me that evening. In my opinion, the only fighter I feel that would have defeated Monzon would have been a prime Sugar Ray Robinson because of his speed, but it would have been a good fight though, as a matter of fact as Monzon was preparing for his May 1971 rematch with Nino Benvenuti in Monaco, there was talk of a sparring session with Robinson according to a French magazine as both shook hands with each other.

 

I don't think Briscoe was close to stopping him.
No man is unbeatable,but perhaps Greb 's style would be the kryptonite for Monzon?

 

The Nunn who beat Tate has the best chance

 

Greb sure would have given Monzon a look a different way of fighting. I get the feeling from what I've read as well as watching Greb's training footage, that he was one of the most adaptable fighters ever. If anyone could give Monzon a run for his money, it would be Harry.

 

Toney vs Monzon would be priceless and I’d give you all I own if it existed.
